SPRINGFIELD – A 24-year-old city man, spurned by a woman who refused to accept a piece of paper with his telephone number on it early Monday, allegedly pulled out a gun and fired two shots at her car.

The suspect, Marcus Campbell, of 62 Washburn St., was ordered held in lieu of $25,000 cash bail following his arraignment in District Court.

Sgt. John M. Delaney said the incident occurred shortly after 3 a.m. when the 24-year-old victim, on her way home from work, spotted a female that she knew near the area of Federal and Worthington streets and pulled over to chat.

While they were talking, a red Honda Civic, occupied by three males, pulled over. One of the males got out and attempted to give the woman his number.

The woman, refused, Delaney said but the man was persistent, wrote down his number on paper and attempted to give it to her.

“The female crumbled the paper and threw it out the window,” Delaney said. “The male did not take rejection very well as he went to his waistband and took out a firearm.”

Delaney said the suspect then shot at the car, hitting her tires. “The female feared she was going to get shot,” he said.

The suspect then fled. However, the woman was able to get a partial plate number - which was enough for police to be able to trace the vehicle an address on Washburn Street in the Brightwood section of the North End.

Police found the suspect and the woman, brought to scene, was able to identify him.

Campbell was charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm in felony, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, possession of a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without an FID card. He denied the charges in court and was ordered to return for bindover hearing on Oct. 26.
